Abstract
The three-dimensional numerical model MISCAM (Micro Scale Air Pollution Model) has been developed to study wind flow and pollutant dispersal in densely built-up urban areas (Eichhorn, 1989). The model has been successfully applied for planning purposes by a variety of institutions in Germany. MISCAM consists of the non-hydrostatic Eulerian equations of motion and a transport equation for pollutants. Turbulence closure is carried out by means of a k-ε-model. To reduce numerical diffusion errors, Smolarkiewicz and Grabowski’s (1989) scheme may be used for the calculation of advective transport. Additionally, sedimentation and dry deposition of pollutants may be taken into account.
